A Complaint.
Dear Editor, listen to old crustv's woes,
■ And the troubles a bachelor has with his
clothes;
And a remedy then, if you can. please
prescribe
For the ills that are common to my
wretched tribe.
My buttons come off—l’ve no time to
reset ’em,
S a my pockets contain an assortment of
buttons;
ThcrcY pins to my vest-straps, and scores
to my breeches.
And my patched clothes are known by
the length of the stitches.
My socks arc all heedless and out at the
toe,
As I cannot darn them, to the rag-pile
they go ;
My inens are scorched—anon, they are
smutted
Is my shirt one time faultless? I tell you
all but it.
Now, I’ve studied and studied—what’s
the best thing to do ?
And upon this conclusion, now what is
your view?
I think—ahem ! I think, my troubles in
life
May be somewhat lessened by taking A
Wife. Apercu.

Henri Deßochefort’s Daugh
ter Commits Suicide.
*
She was not only lovely, but she
was just eighteen. Beautiful hazel
eyes, flashing fire; chestnut hair,
abundant as Absalom's ;the bosom
of Venus; a complexion white as
alabaster—she might have driven
some men mad; she could have made
any man happy. Instead of that she
went to the Hotel des Ardennes, Hue
Vert Bois, hard by the Jewish Syna
gogne, just off the great boulevards
in a quarter of Paris justly called the
hive of the great city ; for, in that
district, every floor is a manufactory,
and all the by streets teem with the
busy bees. I sav she went to the
Hotel ties Ardennes' and asked for a
chamber for a week, paid the week's
rent in advance, brought in a brazier
anil charcoal with her, and laid down
dressed on the bed to die— to die by
her own hard, ller mother was so
poor; they have gone so often with
out meals; they could not see how
house rent was to be paid, how win
ter clothes were to be bought. She
die<l by her own hand, and she w;>s
only eighteen. They had been richer
once; she had never known what
privation and poverty were till La
Commune fed ; before then they bad
possessed all they wanted. Her father
had made his SIOO,OOO a year clear
profit; but thenJie had many vices.
Heaven (or rather the d—l, for these
vices are entered rather in Hades’
ledger than in Heaven’s high chan
cery) knows how many mistresses he
had and how much money he nightly
lost at cards, and how much gold his
parasites drew from him, so that
when the year ended he had little
left but debts —and children. A child
here and a child there, to struggle
with hunger, to wrestle with poverty,
to make exhausting efforts to keep a
footing in life. Such is Henri Roche
fort’s history, for that poor, lovely
girl of eighteen, who has just com
mitted suicide in a furnished lodging
house was Henri Rochefort’s daugh
ter. It was in La Commune as it
had been in the first revolution —not
one of the leaders was a married man;
all of them led irregular lives, with
no children but bastards, and for
wives mistresses. Anarchy reigned
in their households before they intro
duced it in the State. The great revo
lutionary geniuses, Yoltaire and Ros
teau, themselves never were married,
and the latter tossed all his children
to the foundling hospital. Model
Reformers of society. Henri Roche
fort has treated his family with unu
sual heartlessness. While he was
literally coining gold, his fatner died
in a garret in one of the suburbs of
Paris almost of starvation. Ilis sis
ters are ve>y poor, and have never
received one cent from birr. The
only kindred he has seemed to feel
the least affection for are a son and
daughter, to whom he has given the
remnant of his fortune.

noble boy who sold almost enough

BY C. HOLMES CLARK.
NO. I.
“ Ilium Fuit. ”
A few days ago while on a visit to
mv friend \\ . 11. H. Seudder, Esq ,
ot Forsyth County, I was shown a
curiously-wrought implement of stone,
i that had been unearthed some vears
previous, by the plough share.—
Various opinions have from time to
time been expressed with reference
to its use, the most plausible of which
is, that it was used as the wand of an
, Indian conjurer. While examining
this little piece of polished stone, mv
| thoughts reverted to the people who
formerly inhabited this beautiful
j region of country —their character—
, the wrongs that a Christian people
. had inflicted upon them—and the
j certain fate that awaits them in the
i future,
Ila's a century ago, the morning
sun shed his golden beams upon a
wilderness, which has since been
converted by the white man into a
region of agriculture, and is now
known as Cherokee, Georgia. Then
the primeval forests were vocal with
the songs of birds, and redolent with
the perfume of gorgeous flowers.—
The startled fawn brushed tho dew
drops front the spangled foliage, as
the step of the red hunter aroused
him from ruminant repose. The
sparkling waters of the Etowah,
which in its windings gleamed like a
silver thread upon verdant tapestry
were undisturbed save !>v the swiftly
speeding canoe as it boun led on the
wave, impelled hv the rapid oar.
No sound was heard in the gorges
and on the cliffs of the mountains,
whose blue peaks kissed the bluer
skv, save the twitter of biids, the
rustle of leaves, tit babble of laughing
brooks, the soft sigh of the gentle
wind, and, mayhap, the sonorous
twang of the bow-stiing as it sped
the deadly arrow to its aim. Tn the
recess of yonder vale, stool the un
pretending wigwams of an unoff.iid'
ing people ; there they met in coun
cil, and smoked the pipe of peace, or
raised to heaven their terrible cry of
war. On that plain their youths
were wont to engage in athletic
games. That aged oak was the sweet
trysting place, where warriors bold
plighted their sacred faith to dark
eyed maidens. And yonder are the
graves of their dead ancestry—the
great door through which they passed
to the Happy Hunting Grounds.
Who were these people that thus
lived in such peaceful happiness and
fancied security? Their origin is
shrouded in profound mystery ; even
the uncertain voice of tradition utters
no whisper concerning them. Anal
ogy teaches by her argument that
they are of Asiatic blood, and the
descendants of our great progenitors
• ...
Let their origin be what it may, it is
certain that so far as History has
spoken, they were the proprietors of
this vast continent—their domain
embraced an empire with every
variety of climate; a soil whose vir
gin licltfiess supplied their every
want; mountains in whose depths
untold wealtli quietly slumbered;
rivers whose waters chilled at the
Pole, and warmed at the Equator.
All, all was theirs.
What was their character! When
tho Italian navigator touched their
shores, he was greeted with simple
and unaffected hospitality; no de
monstrations of hostile intent tb.ed
him with fear, but with open arms he
was received with welcome, and Iron)
their stores the needed supplies were
famished tt) him and his maimers.
This was no special ease; it was re
peated at Ronoake Island ; the dis
tressed immigrants who came in the.
Mayflower were the recipients of their
kindness ; and the colonists at James
town fetl upon their uorn and feasted
on their fat things. Ignorant ot the
refined deception which nooks the
advancement ot civilization,
ncs> and truth were the characler'.s
“COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
tiers of their generosity. Thev knew
not what suspicion meant, and tieacli
ery and cunning were strange words
in the r vocabulary. They had been
taught in the great school of nature, ,
and hence they were lavish of their
confidence, believing that love and
friendship would conciliate favor and \
esteem. Alas! how doomed to dis
appointment !
What was their religion ? They
reared no splendid temples where
worship might be offered to idols of
sculptured stone; they had no shrines
devoted to deities of imaginative
fancy; no Delphic oracles to utter
mystic prophesies; no sybil leaves to
disclose the secrets of Elysian fields
or the black honors of Tartarean
shades. The smoke of sacrificial
fires ascended not in honor of the
resplendent sun, nor paid they ho
mage to the pale euipr.ss of the
night. But their faith was of Heaven
Beneath the leafy arch of GoJ’s first
temple, their native grove, they offer
ed the incense of honest hearts to
the Great Spirit. They saw the
glancing of His eye in the lightning's
flash ; they heard the terrors of His
voice in the thunder’s roar; and thev
rejoiced in the heautv of His smile, as
the sunbeam burst through the rifled
cloud. In wild and weired, but joy
ful dance, they gave thanks to Him,
when the rich harvest was ready to
Ibe gathered. His aid they invoked
when War’s tocsin sounded the sum
moms that called their braves to the
field of carnage, and before Him they
sang the exultant, song when Peace
with her white wings" hovered over
their beautiful land. True, they
were supersti'ions, as what people
are no* ?j--They had their legends
and traditions, some of them remind
ing us of those beautiful stories of
Deucalion and Byrrah, of Daphne
and Apollo, of By ramus and i hisbe,
that charmed the classic eais of an
antique civilization, and enchain the
rapt attention of modern scholars.
To sum up —thev were kind and
hospitable —inoffensive, vet coura
geous—faithful in friendship, impla
cable to enemies—simnle in their
i
religion, yet true—and the owners of
an empire, the titles to which were
registered above.
The white man came, impelled by
avarice, and from them rest their land.
Professing themselves the followers
of the humble Nazarene, they won
the confidence of their brethren of
the forest, made promises which they
never fulfilled, broke faith with these
untutored children ot nature, outrag
ed all laws of honor, until maddened
by wrong ami writhing under oppres
sion, the spirits of'the native sons of
liberty were fired with revenge, and
they sought to terminite the serpents
that had desecratedTtheir Eden.—
Then did they cry, ‘’Havoc ! and let
slip the dogs of war” And although
they spared neither sex, age, nor con
dition ; although they wore merciless
to their foe, who can blame them ?
They fought for all that man holds
dear in this world—for their homes,
for their wives, their children, the
graves of their beloved ones, their
all The pages of history are tilled
with eulogies upon nations that have
done likewise; orators have lavished
all their powers of eloquence in
praise of kindred acts; poets have
embalmed in immortal verse, the
heroic deeds of those whose blood
has crimsons l theeaith while de'end
ing their native laud. W hat a thrill
of emotion tills tho heait, as we hear
the shout ot Maruo 80/.zaris to his
followers :
“Strike ! till the lust armed foe expires—
Striko ! for your ultars and your tires—
Strike! for the green graves of your sires
God ! and your native laud ! ’
Whv, forsooth, should our sympa

noble minds have done them justice’
and have fearlessly portrayed their
wrongs in graphic colors. Hence
forth let it be the delight ol hards to
sing their praise in sweetest strains,
and preserve their memory in elegiac
verse. Overpowered and overwhelm
e I they were driven step by step until
they were dispossessed of theit heti
tage, and the stranger occupied their
land. Beyond the “lather of waters,"
a few of them, bare remnants of
mighty nations, still live. Shortly
and sadly their sun is hastening to
its setting—soon, no more will be
beard the shrill war whoop, no more
on swift steeds shall they te.eur the
plain, no more will they liequeiit
their accustomed haunts—they will
be driven from the face of the earth.
But will they be forgotten ? Behind
them they have left no traces of mag
nificent cities, no colliseums, i.e crum
bling arches, no broken columns, no
ruined sanes, no deserted crypts, to
proclaim their former greaiuess and
their 1. st civilization ; but the\ have
bieaihed their names upon the moun
tains : the music of their language is
heard in the murmur of the rivers,
arid is echoed in the valleys. And
as long as Alleghany lifts his lower
ing cliff’s to Heaven, so long as Chat
talioochee rolls her waters to the sea,
there shall be eternal chroniclers to
transmit to posterity the shameful
fact that their Ilium was, and their
Priam is no more.
A Plucky Woman.
The St. I iOuis Democrat reports a
curious case which came up in the
Circuit Court of that citv a few davs
since. It was to obtain a decree of
divorce from tlie liolv bonds of in I
'riipony, entered into or the SiOtii ot
June, 1871, in the city of St. Louis.
The marriage, it is alleged, was never
consummated. And thereby hangs
a tale. They were residents of the
city of Mobile, and moved in circles
of tlie highest respectability. An
intimacy sprang up between them
which continued for a year and a
half, when the young lady discovered
that matters had gone too far. The
lover, apprehending violence at the
hands of her relatives, sold out his
business and came to St. Louis.—
Here he opened a store, and is still
thriving.
It appears, however, that a few
months since the lover was walking
through one of the streets of St.
Louis when he was met by a lady
who was deeply veiled. He did not
recognize her until she raised her
veil, and then he was startled to find
his Julia standing before him. She
demanded an interview, and they
took a ride to Layfayette Park.—
There, seated under the statute c»f
Benton, under the shadow of green
boughs, they talko I over the pleasant
hours they passed in the r Southern
home. The feelings of both had
undergone a change, and but little of
the old love was left. The object of
her visit was to obtain reparation for
the wrongs she had suffered. She
gave him to understand, in unmis
takable terms, that unless he made
her his wife within twenty-four hours
lie would be a dead man.
She bad come for this sole purpose,
and was determined to accomplish
her object. She did not care to live
with him, and agreed to return to
Mobile immediately after the per
formance of the ceremony. She had
learned of the whereabouts of her
whilom lover, and receiving a letter
of introduction from Fatliet Rvan,
had followed him to this city. There
was resolution in her eve and in her
voice as she spoke, and the young
min knew the consequences of a
refusal. He consented The twain
went 'to the res.deuce of Bishop
Ryt n, and the ceremony was per
formed without delay The bride
hen departed for Mobile, and lias
never since seen her husband. More
than a tear has elapsed, and now the
'husband c.otri-s b •«» court an 1 prays
far a iliiorce on the ground stated.

is now on tiro superanuntcd list, thus

varied duties of this responsible and
honored ofliee.
At the piesent session of the North
Georgia Gouforen a, there is in at
tendance three of the Bishops, and as
it is a rare occurrence to have so
many present on these occasions, we
append a short sketch <>f iUe"thiee
emiuet and reverend gentlemen.
Bishop Enoch N. Marvin, ai pres
ent presiding over the Noitli Geor
gia Conference of the M. E. Ohurih,
south, uow in sessiou at the Fii>t
Methodist Church, in this city, is a
ua'ive of Missouri.
For thirty-one years has the Bishop
been engaged in the ministrations of
his holy calling, filling the various
places which are assigned to younger
members of the Methodist clergy
Nearly all the principal stations in
ami around St. Louis have been
under hia charge. By virtue of his
consistent piety, his abundant labor,
the high order of his acknowledged
intellect, the remarkable metaphysi
cal and analytical cast ot mind which
lie possesses, called to him the favor
able attention, respect and a'nnira
lion of bis co laborers; and in 18G<>*
at the Genet at Conference held at
New Orleans, he was elected to the
Episcopacy, and for six years has
bevn engaged in the high and varied
duties attached to hi' office.
Bishop Marvin is about thirty nine
years of age, dark hair, heard and
eves, and though slight in person
p esides with dignity; his face,though
slightly stern in expression, is pleas.
:ng in its outlines, and hears the
mark of deep thought and intellectual
culture Bishop Marvin is the autho r
of several work®, among which may
he mentioned his “Lectures on Ro
mani-m, “Work of Christ,” “Life of
Cables,”
Bishop Holland N. MTvier is a
native of Ham well county,l South
Carolina, and is about fifty years of
age.
He was educated at Cokeshurv Col
lingsworth Institute, though after
wards entered Randolph Macon Col
lege, graduating there. Entering t
©nee into hi* great life work, he
began his ministerial career at Wil
liamsburg, Virginia, hollowing the
bent of his inclination as a writer
•n religious mailers, his almost
matchless power soon called him to
the editorial chair. He was the edi
tor successively of the New Orleans
and Nashville Advocate. From the
latter office he was elevated to the
Episcopacy.
To a fine personal appearance he
adds great dignity of manner, and is
the possessor of most remarkable
common sense. His words are slow,
measured and weighty, though oft
times racy, and alwavs eloquent*
He is said te be much beloved by bis
brethren and commands the rasped
of all.
Bishop George Foster Pierce, eld
est son of liev. Loviek Pierce, I>. D ,
was born in Greensboro, Georgia,
and is now about sixty-one vpars of
age.
He graduated at the Georgia S'ate
; University with Gen Kohl Toombs,
at.d was a class-mate of h s and other
eminent men. In early life he en
tered the ministerial work and has
ever been characterized for the zeal
and energy displayed in every good
work.
He was the fi'st President of the
Wesleyan Female ollege, at Macon,
Georgia, which was the first regularly
that tered Female College in the
world. Subsequently lie became Pres
ident of JCmori’ College, at Oxford*
